Very true. Never had a problem with flooding though ever. . Just a cold seize once.

Augers come down to preference. No auger is perfect in my mind. I chose propane since I take my SUV once in a while and don't want a fuel tank in the truck along with a smelly auger venting fumes for 2 hours while I drive. I like to cut holes in my tent and don't want to smell those fumes either. I don't want to top up gas cuz then it get on my hands or gloves and I gotta smell those fumes the whole day. Wow, I hate fumes!
Do propane tanks freeze up when it's -30? yes, so I keep a bottle warm
Would batteries freeze up or drain real fast if it was -30? probably, so keep a battery warm and charging
Is gas easy to mix? of course!
Just comes down to what's important to you.
